FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to a method and a system for exterminating pests, weeds
and pathogens, applicable in household activities, healthcare, industry, agriculture,
forestry, etc. and particularly for exterminating pests, weeds and pathogens found
in:
- wood, such as bark beetles, wood-fretters; pathogens, such as fungi, lichens, bacteria,
plasmodia, etc.;
- raw hide and leather, fur, fur articles and leather articles, textile and knitted
fabrics of natural materials such as skin beetles, moths; pathogens, such as fungi,
lichens, bacteria, etc.;
- grain, bean and other types of grain foods, loose or packaged, including flour, such
as weevils, frit flies, mites, etc.; pathogens such as fungi, bacteria, etc.;
- the fields and other natural massifs, homes and industrial sites, various objects
including monuments and museum pieces, such as weeds, saplings of unwanted or insignificant
wood species, etc.; true mice species such as the lemmings, the house mouse and rat,
underground pests, such as rabbits, moles, lesser mole-rats, European sousliks, etc.
and insects such as the mole-cricket, etc.; pathogens, such as fungi, lichens, bacteria,
plasmodia, etc.;
- the surface layers of plains of water such as swamps, breeding-pools, lakes, reservoirs,
marshes, etc. such as spotted-wing mosquitoes and pathogens, such as bacteria, plasmodia,
amoebas, paramecia etc.
PRIOR ART
[0002] Various methods for exterminating pests, weeds and pathogens by a lethal impact are
widely known. Each of these methods is particularly specialized according to the objects
that are exterminated. For example rodents are exterminated with pesticides with electricity,
by traps, etc. Most often different kinds of poisons are used for the extermination
of pathogens or they are exterminated by heating the surrounding environment to a
high temperature. As regards weeds, mechanical extermination methods, killing by electricity
or treatment with poisons ― herbicides are used.
[0003] A great number of specialized devices according to the methods are also known such
as machines for chemical treatment, traps, electricity based devices, spraying machines,
etc.
[0004] A disadvantage of the methods and devices known in the prior art is that they are
closely specialized and in most cases have a harmful impact on the environment due
to pollution with chemical substances.
[0005] A device implementing a method for exterminating pests in grain foods is known (GB
2166633 A), comprising a stationary tunnel-shaped microwave radiator through which
passes a continuous belt. Grain material is poured onto the belt from a bunker in
order to be radiated during its stay in the radiation zone where the extermination
of pests is performed. The so processed material is poured into a second bunker.
[0006] Another similar device is also known (GB 2292084 A) implementing a similar method
for extermination of pests found in objects moving on a belt. The device comprises
a microwave radiator positioned above the belt.
[0007] A disadvantage of these methods and devices is that they have limited application
only for freely movable objects which makes them inapplicable for terrain spot treatment.
[0008] A device implementing a method for exterminating pests in the fields is known (US
5339564), comprising a source for effecting lethal impact ― a microwave generator,
connected to an antenna. The microwave radiation is of various frequencies assigned
by a control unit as per a predetermined list. Thus, more frequencies exterminating
various pest species are used.
[0009] A disadvantage of this known device and method is that they radiate incessantly which
makes them more energy consuming. Moreover, the radiation is not consistent with the
peculiar characteristics of all pests and therefore many pests remain unexterminated,
which makes the method and the device of low effectiveness.
[0010] No method and system for simultaneous extermination of pests, weeds and pathogens
are known.
[0011] The object of the invention is to provide a universal and ecological method and system
for exterminating pests, weeds and pathogens simultaneously and with high effectiveness.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0012] The aim of the present invention is achieved by providing a method for exterminating
pests, weeds and pathogens wherein they are exterminated by killing through a lethal
impact. They are killed in their habitats and/or in their preliminarily localized
places of residence and locations. The lethal impact is effected by means of a direct
guided radiation with high-frequency waves having a frequency ranging from 0,9 to
10 GHz, a radiation capacity 0,5 to 100 KWt and duration of 10s to 3 min.
[0013] It is possible to perform the extermination by direct on the spot treatment of the
terrain or of the objects where the habitats and/or locations are found.
[0014] It is also possible to perform the extermination through direct treatment of the
objects where their habitats and/or locations are found. These objects are then passed
on to a stationary exterminating system.
[0015] It is possible to preliminary locate the habitats by sensor microwave scanning the
habitats and at the same time, through the scanning, the presence of pests in the
localized habitats is ascertained. The pests are exterminated immediately after the
localization.
[0016] During the extermination of the large-sized treated objects it is possible to cause
them to rotate around their longitudinal axis.
[0017] A system for extermination of pests, weeds and pathogens is also provided comprising
a source of lethal impact consisting of a microwave generator with a microwave guiding
element facing an antenna. The microwave generator is located in the focus area of
the antenna by means of three supports. The control input of the microwave generator
is connected to the output of a control unit, whilst its power supply input is connected
to a power unit. The antenna is attached to an antenna fork, the opposite end of which
is connected to a first axis. The opposite end of the first axis is connected to a
first engine by means of a first gear. The vertical part of the L-shaped fork is attached
to a second axis through which the first axis passes freely. The second axis is connected
to a second engine by means of a second gear. A screening-reflecting plane with microwave
sensors under it is attached to the horizontal part of the L-shaped fork. The control
inputs of the engines are connected to the respective inputs of the control unit,
the power supply inputs of the engines are connected to the respective outputs of
the power unit and the outputs of the microwave sensors are connected to the respective
inputs of the control unit. The vertical part of the L-shaped fork is movable by means
of an extensible cylinder, its control input being connected to a respective output
of the control unit. The engines are enclosed into a common carrier casing with apertures
for attaching a manipulator.
[0018] It is possible that the antenna is parabolic.
[0019] It is also possible a mobile platform with a manipulator on it to be connected to
the carrier casing at the free edge of the manipulator. The control and power units
are situated in the cabin or in the body of the manipulator and are connected to the
rest of the components by a multicore cable.
[0020] It is possible to place a roller conveyor between the antenna and the screening-reflecting
plane whose rollers have a one-way projecting screw thread while opposite to the carrier
casing perpendicularly to the working plane a limiter with a fixture is put on the
conveyor.
[0021] It is possible to place a belt conveyor between the antenna and the screening-reflecting
plane.
[0022] It is also possible to place an additional screening-reflecting plane facing the
antenna behind the treated construction.
[0023] It is possible that the two engines and the extensible cylinder are hydraulic.
[0024] An advantage of the method and system for exterminating pests, weeds and pathogens
is that they are universal, ecological, of high efficiency and productivity.

APPLICATION OF THE INVENTION
[0036] The system performing the method for exterminating pests, weeds and pathogens operates
as follows:
[0037] According to the method for exterminating pests, weeds and pathogens they are exterminated
by killing through a lethal impact effected by means of a direct guided radiation
with high-frequency waves having a frequency ranging from 0,9 to 10 GHz, a radiation
capacity 0,5 to 100 KWt and duration 10s to 3 min. This causes a rapid temperature
rise in the tissues of the radiated objects. When the temperature in the tissues reaches
45-55°C and remains unchanged for 5 - 10 s, or reaches 55 - 65°C and remains unchanged
for 3 - 7 s, or reaches 65 - 75°C and remains such for 1- 4 s, coagulation of proteins
occurs resulting in termination of all life supporting processes in the cells and
the organism dies.
[0038] The most efficient transformers of microwave energy into thermal energy are the molecules
of water and fats constituting an average of about 85% of the cell contents of each
living cell. As a result the cells of living organisms are powerful transformers of
the energy of the high-frequency waves into thermal energy. In cases when the living
organisms inhabit an environment with a comparatively low moisture content, for example
dry wood, soil, air, grain foods, flour, clothes, fur, leather, etc., almost all the
energy of the high-frequency waves is transformed into thermal energy and this happens
precisely in the tissues of the pests, weeds and pathogens. The most appropriate wave
frequency rates for their certain extermination by direct guided radiation with high-frequency
waves or indirectly by turning microwave antennas is within the range of 3 to 10 GHz.
The appropriate radiation capacity of the microwave generators that are used is from
20 to 90 KWt and plus; the radiation duration is from 10s to 3 min in order to raise
the temperature in the tissues of the organisms over 55°C for at least 5 s.. In the
presence of constant parameters of the wave frequencies, the radiation capacity and
the characteristics of the antenna 3, the temperature rate depends on: the environment
where the habitats and locations are situated (wood, soil, textiles made of natural
fibres); the depth of the habitats or locations at the time of the treatment of an
object; the relative air humidity; the moisture content of the treated object itself,
etc. In order to enhance efficiency a screening-reflecting plane 15 may be placed
behind the treated object W, S, C, P or L, thus protecting the environment, animals
and people from undesirable radiation. By using the platform 20 (the platform may
be on the ground, in the air, in the water, underwater) all the components of the
system are placed at the sites of the habitats and locations of the organisms that
will be exterminated. The mobile platform 20 enables the system when necessary to
be transformed into a stationary one on the most appropriate location for the given
purpose and where the objects will be passed to undergo treatment. Also, in order
to increase the efficiency of the treatment of some objects, for example wood trunks
W with a large diameter and/or a comparatively high percentage of moisture content,
it is possible that they are caused to rotate around their longitudinal axis by the
roller conveyor 25. Thus they are radiated evenly on all sides. Also, in order to
increase the efficiency of the system as well as the protection of the living flora
and fauna of the soil from harmful impact microwave sensors 16 are attached to the
outer part of the screening-reflecting plane 15. The microwave sensors 16 search for
and locate the objects to be exterminated on the terrain they occupy, for example
in soil cavities such as passageways and the habitations of underground pests such
as lemmings, European sousliks, moles, rabbits, etc. as well as their exact locations
in their homes. After their localization the mobile platform 20 is stationed on the
spot and only the exact location and the pests in it are radiated with a lethal dose.
The maximum location depth of most of the mentioned pests is 40 cm and the treatment
of such objects is most efficient when the soil is dry. The calamities (the mass appearance
of pests in large numbers) of most pests are observed mainly during the dry periods
of the year since at periods of heavy rainfalls most pests are drowned.
[0039] The microwave system is stationed at the most appropriate position for radiating
the treated object W (fig. 1) by means of simultaneous or successive movements of
the manipulator 21 and/or of the mobile platform 20 (fig. 2). The apertures 19' on
the body 19 ensure the firm attachment of the manipulator 21 to the system by means
of the manipulator connecting elements (not shown on the figure). By means of the
engine 10 (fig. 1) through the gear 9 and the axis 8 on the opposite end of which
on the antenna fork 7 the antenna 3 is attached, the last one is positioned through
a 360° rotation so as to face the object W. By means of the engine 14 (fig. 1) through
the gear 13 and the axis 12 the L-shaped fork 11 is positioned so as to face the antenna
3 and thus the screening-reflecting plane 15 acts as a protective screen against parasitic
radiation of the antenna 3 in the opposite direction of treatment during the extermination
of objects. The horizontal part of the L-shaped fork 11 with the screening-reflecting
plane 15 can be positioned at an optimum distance from the treated object W (fig.
1) by means of the extensible cylinder 18 in the vertical part 17 of the L-shaped
fork 11. The high degree of freedom of the system allows placing the antenna 3 precisely
above the treated object W or putting the sensors 16 in a localization mode (fig.
6, 7).
[0040] By means of the mobile platform 20 (fig. 2) through the microwave generator 1 with
the microwave guiding element 2 being positioned in the focus area of the antenna
3 by means of the three supports 4 (fig. 1), the microwave system performs a direct
on the spot treatment of the terrain or the objects, i.e. where the habitats and locations
of the pests and pathogens are found. The control unit 5 assigns and controls all
system manipulations and operation modes and is designed as a standard microprocessor
configuration supplied with standard software. The unit 5 assigns the operation modes
at the command of an operator (not shown on the figures) or automatically depending
on the located pest, the type and state of the object and the environment conditions
mentioned above. By means of the flexible multicore cable 24 the power unit 6 and
the control unit 5 provide the power supply of the system and deliver the commands
to the other components of the system connected to them. The units are situated in
the cabin 22 or directly in the body of the manipulator 23 which protects them from
harmful outside effects.
[0041] It is possible (fig. 3) to station the mobile platform 20 at an appropriate place
and to perform the extermination of the pests and pathogens on/inside the objects
W. The objects W are set into a mode of gradual increasing rotation by means of the
screw thread 26 of the rollers of the roller conveyor 25, the last being positioned
between the antenna 3 and the screening-reflecting plane 15. The convenience of the
system is that it can be situated for use in the open field, for example near a wood-cutting
area in the temporary timber-yard where the cut wood is stored. The limiter 27 is
movable and depending on the diameter of the treated object W the distance between
the axial line of the conveyor 25 and the limiter 27 is set so that it is equal to
the radius of the object W which is thus treated at an optimum degree. The fixture
28 is used for locking the limiter 27 so as to avoid any undesirable displacements
of the limiter 27 caused by the weight of the treated objects, for example by the
wood trunks W.
[0042] When (fig. 4) the mobile platform 20 is stationed at an appropriate place between
the antenna 3 and the screening-reflecting plane 15 a belt conveyor 29 is positioned
and the treated objects S, for example sacks containing grain foods, flour, clothes,
books, leather, hide, etc., are passed on for direct radiation by being placed onto
the belt of the conveyor 29. In this way flows of small-sized objects can be treated
without being preliminary packaged.
[0043] When (fig. 5) floors, walls and ceilings of interior rooms, sewer systems of residential
areas, etc. are treated an additional screening-reflecting plane 31, for example wide-area
aluminium foil, is positioned behind the treated construction 30 (on the floor, walls
and ceilings of the adjacent room, on the roadway). This improves the radiation effect
and at the same time prevents the surrounding environment in the neighboring rooms
facing the antenna 3 from undesirable radiation.
[0044] When (fig. 6) the passageways, locations L and the presence of underground pests
P are searched for and localized the platform 20 and the manipulator 21 move along
in straight rows in the field while the L-shaped fork 11 is rotated in such a way
so that the microwave sensors 16 are situated above the investigated surface. When
they give a signal that a habitat with a pest in it has been localized the platform
20 stops and the control unit 5 gives a signal to the engine 14. The engine 14 rotates
the L-shaped fork 11 through 180° with the attached to it horizontal part of the screening-reflecting
plane 15 which is positioned behind the antenna 3. As a result the underground pests
P are directly radiated (fig. 7). After that the system returns to a localization
mode (fig. 6) and resumes its movement along the respective row of the treated surface.
[0045] When (fig. 8) the mobile platform 20 is positioned at constructions C with a complex
structure, for example bridges, road overpasses, etc. the antenna 3 and the screening-reflecting
plane 15 (or an additional screening-reflecting plane 31 ― not shown on the figure)
are positioned in a likewise manner already mentioned in the above cases shown on
fig. 1, 2, 5.
[0046] When (fig. 9) weeds or unwanted or insignificant wood species E are exterminated
the antenna 3 and the screening-reflecting plane 15 are positioned in a likewise manner
shown on fig. 7.
[0047] When (fig. 10) the microwave system treats water or underwater surface layers the
mobile platform 20 may be a boat, motor-launch or other similar vessel. In this case
the surface water layers, for example layers of medium-sized and stagnant basins,
are treated directly and the pests, for example the larvae of the spotted-wing mosquitoes,
etc. are exterminated.
[0048] The provision of additional safety measures and the increasing of the efficiency
of the microwave extermination effect can be achieved by similar additional positioning
of mobile screening-reflecting planes (not shown on the figures) in the surrounding
space in which the microwaves spread in all variants of the application of the system.
